The Remote Analog to Digital Conversion DAQ System for the TRISTAN Detector Upgrade
Andrew S. Gavin, Matthias Balzer, Suren Chilingaryan +10
The TRISTAN detector is an upgrade to the KATRIN experiment to enable a differential measurement of the tritium -decay spectrum to search for sterile neutrinos with keV masses.…
Investigations of Charge Collection and Signal Timing in a multi-pixel Silicon Drift Detector
Christian Forstner, Korbinian Urban, Marco Carminati +7
Sterile neutrinos are a minimal extension of the Standard Model of particle physics and a promising candidate for dark matter if their mass is in the keV-range. The Karlsruhe Triti…
Measurement of the electric potential and the magnetic field in the shifted analysing plane of the KATRIN experiment
M. Aker, D. Batzler, A. Beglarian +135
The projected sensitivity of the effective electron neutrino-mass measurement with the KATRIN experiment is below 0.3 eV (90 % CL) after five years of data acquisition. The sensiti…
Investigation of Electron Backscattering on Silicon Drift Detectors for the Sterile Neutrino Search with TRISTAN
Daniela Spreng, Korbinian Urban, Marco Carminati +7
Sterile neutrinos are hypothetical particles in the minimal extension of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. They could be viable dark matter candidates if they have a mass in…
A thermionic electron gun to characterize silicon drift detectors with electrons
Korbinian Urban, Matteo Biassoni, Marco Carminati +8
The TRISTAN detector is a new detector for electron spectroscopy at the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment. The semiconductor detector utilizes the silicon drift detect…
Development of a Silicon Drift Detector Array to Search for keV-scale Sterile Neutrinos with the KATRIN Experiment
Daniel Siegmann, Frank Edzards, Christina Bruch +25
Sterile neutrinos in the keV mass range present a viable candidate for dark matter. They can be detected through single decay, where they cause small spectral distortions. The…
Characterization measurements of the TRISTAN multi-pixel silicon drift detector
Korbinian Urban, Marco Carminati, Martin Descher +12
